Daughters of Hollywood’s biggest stars are dropping their fathers’ surnames. In the latest case, it is the daughter of Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise who decided to stop using her father’s surname. Previously, Brad Pitt’s daughter had also stopped using her surname. However, the reasons were different in both cases.

Tom Cruise’s 18-year-old daughter recently dropped her last name when she entered college. She is the daughter of Tom and his ex-wife, actress Katie Holmes. The couple split in 2012 after being married for six years. Under their divorce settlement, Tom paid Katie $400,000 annually until her daughter turned 18. He even agreed to cover her college expenses.
Suri is not very close to her father and they have not been seen together in the past decade. Now, Suri is in college and decided to drop her father’s last name, “Cruise,” and replace it with her mother’s middle name, “Noelle,” and was admitted to college with that name. Tom is currently filming his upcoming spy thriller, Mission: Impossible – Reckoning.

Brad Pitt’s daughter hasn’t just dropped her father Tom Cruise’s last name. On May 27, her 18th birthday, she filed a petition in a Los Angeles court that granted her permission to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
While other Brangelina children have informally changed their last names, Shiloh is the first to take legal steps to change her surname. Her daughter, Vivienne, was cast in a Broadway run of The Outsiders as “Vivienne Jolie.” The former couple also have four children: Maddox, Pax Zahara, and Knox.
Angelina Jolie also changed her name in 2002, dropping her father’s surname after their relationship deteriorated.
Brad and Angelina dated for years before tying the knot in 2014. But two years later, Angelina filed for divorce in 2016 and was declared single by the judge in 2019. The divorce case is still not finalized with custody and financial issues.
The former couple also filed lawsuits against each other over their shared businesses and properties, which include a winery in France. In 2022, Angelina alleged that Brad grabbed her by the head in 2016 and shook her, and then strangled one of their sons who came to her defense.
